Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of α-synuclein (α-syn) such as acetylation and phosphorylation play important yet distinct roles in regulating α-syn conformation, membrane binding, amyloid aggregation. However, how PTMs regulate function presynaptic terminals remains unclear. Previously, we reported that clusters synaptic vesicles (SV) 1 , neutral phospholipid lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) can mediate this clustering 2 . Here, based on our previous findings, further demonstrate N-terminal acetylation, which occurs under physiological conditions is irreversible mammalian cells, significantly enhances the functional activity SVs. Mechanistic studies reveal enhancement caused by N-acetylation-promoted insertion α-syn’s N-terminus increased intermolecular interactions LPC-containing membrane. Our work demonstrates N-acetylation fine-tunes α-syn–LPC interaction for mediating SV clustering.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) endow proteins with new properties to respond environmental changes or growth needs. With the development of advanced proteomics techniques, hundreds distinct types PTMs have been observed in a wide range from bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. To identify roles these PTMs, scientists applied various approaches. However, high dynamics, low stoichiometry, crosstalk between make it almost impossible obtain homogeneously modified for characterization site-specific effect individual PTM on target proteins. solve this problem, genetic code expansion (GCE) strategy has introduced into field studies. Instead modifying after translation, GCE incorporates amino acids during thus generating site-specifically at positions. In review, we summarize systems orthogonal translation installation PTMs.

Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is responsible for the transcription of protein-coding genes in cell. Enormous progress has been made discovering protein activities that are required to occur, but effects post-translational modifications (PTMs) on RNAPII transcriptional regulation much less understood.

However, it becoming apparent other PTMs play a crucial role cycle, and doubtful any sort complete this attainable without spectra occur machinery. Among these O-GlcNAcylation.

Abstract Phase separation is a cellular phenomenon where macromolecules aggregate or segregate, giving rise to biomolecular condensates resembling "droplets" and forming distinct, membrane-free compartments. This process pervasive in biological cells, contributing various essential functions. However, when phase goes awry, leading abnormal molecular aggregation, it can become driving factor the development of diseases, including tumor. Recent investigations have unveiled intricate connection between dysregulated tumor pathogenesis, highlighting its potential as novel therapeutic target. article provides an overview recent research, with particular emphasis on role tumor, implications, outlines avenues for further exploration this intriguing field.
